You can get reference from magento docs, Create Magento theme

Theme structure for magento 2:

app/design/frontend/
├── <Vendorname>/
│   │   ├── <themename>/  
│   │   │   ├── ...web
│   │   │   │   ├── ...css
│   │   │   │   ├── ...images
│   │   │   │   ├── ...js
│   │   │   ├── registration.php
│   │   │   ├── theme.xml

You have to just create theme inside folder app/design/frontend/Vendorname/themename

You have to get files from core theme blank or luma and set your parent theme inside your theme file.

You have to copy files and folder from magento2/vendor/magento/theme-frontend-luma or magento2/vendor/magento/theme-frontend-blank based on your parent theme.

Required files is, registration.php file,

<?php
/**

 * See COPYING.txt for license details.
 */

\Magento\Framework\Component\ComponentRegistrar::register(
    \Magento\Framework\Component\ComponentRegistrar::THEME,
    'frontend/Vendor/themename',
    __DIR__
);

theme.xml

keep below code,

<theme xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="urn:magento:framework:Config/etc/theme.xsd">
    <title>Custom Theme</title>
    <parent>Magento/luma</parent>
</theme>

Get web folder from parent theme to your current theme.

After Getting required files and folder, Run command through cmd,

First run command for deployment,

php bin/magento setup:static-content:deploy

Remove var folder from root.

Now you have to set theme from Magento admin panel.

Go To admin panel left side menu,
